You're watching Democratic tional
Convention coverage from Chicago. I'm Frederica
Freyberg. We'll stay withNewsHour coverage,
but we want to check in
now with "Here& Now". Senior political reporter
Zac Schultz , who comes to us
from Chicago and. Hi, Zach.
So it is the final night of the
convention, and we will hearfrom Kamala Harris
tonight. Speaking at length, also, U.S.Senator Tammy
Baldwin running for reelection, had a
speaking spot tonight. You also caught up
with her a couple of timestoday. What
did she have to say?>> Well, this
is her firstappearance in Chicago
this week. Baldwin is a
veteran campaigner, and she understands the opticsof
whether she should be back in
Wisconsin, traveling to the rural
parts of the state, orwhether she needed
to be here for a convention. And she
decided Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday it was more
important to be back in Wisconsin. Sheoutperforms
other Democrats inall other parts
of the state that are very red. So
her political instincts on
this tell her she needs to be back
in her home state, come down to get
her speaking slot. Here's what shehad to
say to the breakfast delegate this morning about her
and her opponent, Eric Hovde.>> Wisconsinites
deserve a senator who understands them
, not one who insults them
. So Butthe good news
is the fact that we have a choice
, right? We have a choice. We get to
decide between Kamala Harris and Donald
Trump , and we get to
decide between me and my
opponent. And the stakes of that
choice could not be higher
. >> As you know, Baldwin ispulling ahead
of her challenger,Eric Hovde, right
now. But we also know that candidates
can't really count on early polling
toward the end game. But
going forward following this
tion, what is the ground
game going to look like in
Wisconsin? one part of the
convention that often gets overlooked for both
parties is trying to energize theirdelegates
, some volunteers, their donors, to get peopleexcited
. And that's clearly what Democrats have been able
to do here is boost some of that
enthusiasm and then translate back that that
back into energy. In the field, that means
knocking doors , organizing,getting people regis
tered tovote, figuring out
a game plan.Because even though
the election's not for
another 70 days, the work starts
immediately. Because this is thetime of year
where elections canbe won or
lost, with ads on theair and getting
people involved, especially since people startvoting even
earlier these days with absentee balloting. So the
work will start immediately.They'll have a
party tonight, but they'll be back to work
right away and the work willcontinue f
or you as well.>>
Thank you so much for yourwork
there in Chicago and in
Milwaukee earlier. Looking aheadto tomorrow
night, you can see full coverage of the
convention and the campaign
ahead to November. Join "Here& Now" at
seven for an hour long special
